Superb!!



Now I'm in two minds as to wether to grab the LN that's been set aside for me at 'my AD' this weekend or stall them & see if the LV lands in the next week or so.....
just to try & get a chance to compare them in the flesh before I take the plunge.

(As much as I love the LV I do think it might be hard to 'wear with everything'.....
BUT the LN's possibly too similar to my GMTc??)





But either way Congratulations Mark mate......

I pre-paid mine and the waiting game is driving me crazy! Its been 3 weeks and no call yet from the AD. They said that no green came on the second batch. Anyway, enjoy your new Sub-C.

I hope u like it as much as I do.

The green ceramic and green dial are totally awesome, you have to see one in the wild to really appreciate it.

Will post some pics with it's black ceramic brother later as well.
Wonderful watch Mark!! there is one like yours in my sights, but I need to see it on my wrist first, before making a choice between black or green dial.
Green is may favorite one, but prefer to try it first. Anyhow, a C- Sub waits me in the near future!!

Enjoy your new great watch in good health, and thank you for sharing!
Kind regards, Abel

That's one good lookin' sub!! I might have to consider going for green instead of black now.....or maybe they'll eventually have them in blue for the stainless?
